NOAA-N Prime Launch


video


Here's an awesome video of the launch I went to a few nights ago. It was well worth not getting any sleep for three nights. This launch was a NOAA Weather Sat, on a Delta II rocket. The rocket is the white blur on the left, while the tower holding it in place in on the right. We had a great spot to observe about a half mile from the pad which is as close as you can get.


So I might not be able to ride my bike, but the work I'm doing is great...tough trade off. And yes I am a nerd.
